Freshwater dip??

Scouter Steve · 05-04-2008, 02:52 PM

I have noticed an increasing number of redish brown flatworms on my Toadstool leather and a couple LPS namely Frogspawn, Torch and now Pagoda Cup. Is a freshwater dip in order? I would warm it to tank temp and try to match PH with pickling lime. I thought just a couple minutes of dip for the corals and the FW would fall off dead.

I would use flat worm exit less stress to the corals & get prdator fish that will keep them away, Sixline Wrase, Yellow Corris Wrasse, Emerald Green Sea grass wrasee austrialian pipe fish

Would a wrasse eat all the pods my Mandarin is living on? I did do the freshwater dip already and the corals seem to be recovering Ok. Sliming pretty much but do seem to be opening up again.
